NOTE: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote Plus.
This procedure allows the Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus to communicate with
the console.
WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE PLUS.
• Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened.
• When sharing the Wii Remote Plus between multiple players, make sure each
person uses the wrist strap properly.
• Wearing the wrist strap will prevent you from accidentally dropping or throwing the
remote during gameplay, which could damage the remote or surrounding objects,
or cause injury to other people.
ALLOW ADEQUATE ROOM AROUND YOU DURING GAME PLAY.
• Stay at least three (3) feet away from the television.
• As you may move around during gameplay, make sure objects and other people are
out of your range of movement or arm motion to prevent damage or injury.
Standard Mode Synchronisation

with the console at the factory.
There are two different modes of synchronising (syncing) a Wii Remote or Wii Remote
Plus with your console:
DO NOT LET GO OF THE REMOTE DURING GAME PLAY.
• Read the Instruction booklet for the game you are playing and follow all game
control instructions for correct use of the Wii Remote Plus or accessory controllers.
• Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion, as it may cause you to let go
of the remote and may break the wrist strap.
• If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands.
Synchronising Your Wii Remote Plus with
the Wii Console
2. Slide the strap lock up so that the strap will not fall off your wrist. Do not over
tighten the strap lock so that it’s uncomfortable. It should just be tight enough to
hold the wrist strap in place. Close the lever to hold the strap lock in place.
STANDARD MODE – The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional
remotes to your system or if you want to re-synchronise your original remote.
Once synchronised, the remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite
this setting by syncing the remote to a different console.
NOTE: With Standard Mode Synchronisation, you can synchronise up to 10 Wii
Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers with your Wii console. The data of the
remote that was synchronised first is deleted if you synchronise more than 10.
ONE TIME MODE – This mode allows you to temporarily use your remote on a console
other than your own or to use a friends remote on your console. It does not delete
the Standard Mode setting stored in the remote. In this mode, the remote will
only communicate with the console while the power is on. When the power is turned
off the remote will lose its sync with the console.
3. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the
front of the Wii console. Press and
release the SYNC. button on the inside
of the compartment. When the Player
LED blinking stops, connection is
complete. The LED that is illuminated
indicates the player number.

When playing a game that includes Wii MotionPlus
features, the Wii Remote Plus operates erratically
or unexpectedly.
• The Wii Remote Plus may need to be recalibrated due to the following:
1. Changing batteries in the Wii Remote Plus during gameplay.
2. Moving Wii MotionPlus from a cold environment into a warm environment.
To recalibrate the Wii Remote Plus, place it on a flat horizontal surface with the buttons
facing down. It should be 20” or more from your television and Wii console for
correct calibration. Wait for a few seconds and check the operation. Also, review the
instruction manual for the game you are playing for more information.
